Talking with ilo about the tip off's, he told me that ranking up with a major faction (empire and federation) may produce that the tip off missions appear.

I promoted to Lord and Baron in Shu Babassi, 100% of reputation with all the imperial minor factions and I received the two tip off missions, makes sense.

Maybe there is a correlation in all this.

Use the bearings on you atmospheric display. Helps a lot, as you can head at 0/90/180/270 bearing and only one number will change at a time, allowing you to get a better feel for where you need to head.
EQ gave me plenty of practice at 'loc-homing', :/

That isn't an atmospheric display. We can't land on planets with atmospheres. That is the planetary flight HUD.

The bearing at the top is the compass, the at the side is the altimeter, and main one is the attitude meter.

the data core is the whole point. They are the things leading to a mystery?

I'm still on standby for the Kuru B1 tip off. Game is still crashing when dropping from SC ._.

Tip off is at -8.63; 46.93.

Yes, but the "things" messages only started appearing recently.

Try dropping a few degrees off. It may take a few minutes of boosting to arrive, but you might at least get there.

One of the things I find really interesting is that they are hostile to some people and passive to others. It's almost like whatever is happening to people isn't the same thing every time. Is there some reason for the attacks on some ships and not others? Do the ships being attacked have UAs/UPs on them and that is what causes them to attack?

That's some fine optimization there. Is everyone having this issue? I just got promoted to Viscount and received the tip-off to the system with a name like 156932 or something. I'm on my phone, I dunno. All of my ranks are bugged right now; when I completed the mission to get to Duke, I got a random message telling me I was promoted to King. I don't think these are tied to superpower ranks.

Sometimes pirates and bounty hunter NPCS will attack you, because they think you have cargo when you actually don't. I had at least one ship overhead at every crash site, scanning my ship or SRV every thirty seconds only to be disappointed and circle again. Probably just bugs or the badly-implemented power play AI.

Yep, bugged for everyone.

That's why there's a lot of speculation that there is something new implemented which isn't working yet. I heard those issues are similiar to the beginning time of the barnacles.

Got Avan A 2 from Zeaex today. Same coordinates, same message.

Make sure you bring a ship with a good T/W/R. I was hovering about two kilos over the exact coordinates, started descending, and figured out pretty quickly that trying to descend on a more-than-.5-G planet, in a Courier, with the main thrusters not pointed directly downward, is a huge mistake. Luckily, after pancaking (with the landing gear down - perfect three-point landing, pro pilot here) at 150m/s, I looked to my right to check my module status and saw the wreck. If I could find a gif of the Planet Express, I would.

Ah. Well, in that case, I AM KING DUKE! FEAR MY UNARMED COURIER!

This is true, but the tip offs are actual results of things happening due to the ingame AI, but instead story pieces the devs are building up, so I doubt the AI bugs really apply here, unless those bugs are Thargoids :p

The AI bugs apply everywhere AI spawn. Mission AI are especially buggy.

I'd say they got the Tholians from it, minus the EV suits.

I think Tholians were TOS, so before Elite.
What I'm getting from this thread is that the Thargoids are intergalactic grammar fanatics . They attack anyone who uses bad grammar. Legend has it they wiped out an entire planet for incorrect use of an apostrophe.
We need to be careful they may have taken over some of the commanders on this forum!

Hey, if that's true, you should let me make first contact. We can give them express permission to annihilate people who refuse to acknowledge the differences between they're, there, and their.
